Braille - Humility
(from the album Scatter Brain)

I’ve fantasized ? in my head for a long time. This song called Humility

CHORUS:
I wanna reach that place of humility
Without losing confidence in my own ability
I wanna reach that place of being unique?
Without using it as an excuse to accept defeat
I wanna reach that place of being bold
Where it’s more about souls than records that sold
I wanna reach that place of submission
Where I learn how to speak without forgetting to listen

So you don’t like my voice, I don’t like it much either
I work with what I got, that’s how I got here in the first place
I’m just holding back when my image is at stake
I don’t wanna have any more decisions to make
So in some ways I’m overworked, In some ways I’m lazy
I walk a thin line between intelligent and crazy
And lately it’s evident that I’m a little bit of both
I’m wide awake at 4 A.M. with a pot of tea on the kitchen stove
It’s an unpredictable life with no instructions to follow
What I should do today is put off until tomorrow
And right now my level of toleration is low
I get frustrated just hearing the sound of my cell phone
Ringing, being real, sometimes I’m afraid to fail
Or afraid that I’ll never meet my own expectations
I’ve been critical ever since I started striving
And now it’s just a method I use to keep on surviving

CHORUS

Some days I love everything about me
Some days I wish the world would go on without me
It’s so trivial, my drama is nothing compared to yours
My life is so easy that I make it difficult
Maybe it’s hard and I’ve learned to accept it
But either way I got a place to live and I can walk
Why do I complain, consumed with my own stuff
When all I wanna do is help others with theirs
What am I here for, I know it, but sometimes ignore it
But God always puts me back together when I’m broken
I don’t even mean backsliding
Cuz I struggle everyday, but it’s Christ who makes me righteous
I don’t wanna forget what He did for me
I just hope I remember when someone’s willing to listen
It’s not about what has or hasn’t happened in my life
God won’t give me more than I can handle, it’s all love
This is my humility song
